Launcher Plus – Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 October 2026

Launcher Plus (package com.themelauncherplus.app) is a themed home-screen app published by ThemeJunky. This policy explains what the app does with your data. See also the Terms of Use.

Data stored on your device

The app saves its own settings on your phone: the layout of your home screen and dock, apps you hid, appearance and grid preferences, the theme you applied and the themes you downloaded or unlocked, the city you chose for weather, notification choices, whether setup was completed, and whether Premium is active. This data stays on the device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.

Installed apps

To show your apps, draw their themed icons and open the apps you choose, Launcher Plus reads the list of launchable apps on the device, including apps in a work profile. The list is used only on the device. We never upload the names of your apps, your layout, your hidden apps or your search text.

Themes and wallpaper

The theme store downloads the theme catalog, previews and theme packages from our server hosted on GitHub Pages. Like any web server, it receives your IP address and basic request data when a file is downloaded; we do not combine it with anything else. When you apply a theme that includes a wallpaper, the app sets that image as your home-screen wallpaper (the app does not read your existing wallpaper).

Weather

Weather is optional and uses no location permission. If you type a city in Settings, Android's geocoder (provided by Google on most devices) turns the name into coordinates, and those coordinates (rounded) are sent to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (MET Norway, api.met.no) to get the forecast. No other identifier is sent with the request.

Advertising

Ads appear only inside the theme store (for example, a video you choose to watch to unlock a theme, or an ad after you apply a theme). The home screen, dock and app drawer never show ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may work with mediation partners such as Liftoff (Vungle). These services may collect device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), IP address, approximate location derived from it, and ad interaction data to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the app asks for your consent with Google's consent form before requesting ads, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy options. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in Android settings. See how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Liftoff's privacy policy. Premium users see no ads.

Analytics, crash reports and performance

The app uses Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring) to understand how the launcher and the theme store are used, to fix crashes and to keep the app fast. This includes usage events (for example: a theme previewed, downloaded or applied, setup completed, a plan selected on the Premium screen), ad and purchase events, device model, Android version, app version, country and language, app-instance identifiers, performance traces and crash stack traces. We do not sell this data. Google's processing is described in the Google Privacy Policy and Firebase Privacy and Security.

Notifications

With your permission the app can show notifications, for example about new themes. Firebase Cloud Messaging assigns the app a push token used only to deliver these messages. You can turn off promotional notifications in Settings or turn off all notifications in Android settings. The swipe-down gesture only asks Android to open the notification shade; the app does not read your notifications.

Purchases

Launcher Plus Premium is sold as a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase through Google Play Billing. We never see your payment details. Purchase status is verified on the device through Google Play.

Sister apps

Settings and the theme store may suggest our other apps (SMS Plus, Locker Plus, Keyboard Plus) from Google Play. Each has its own privacy policy. Launcher Plus only checks whether they are installed in order to open them.

Permissions

Internet and network state: theme store, weather, ads, Firebase and Google Play Billing. Set wallpaper: applying a theme's wallpaper. Notifications: optional messages about new themes. Receive boot completed: keeping the daily new-themes check scheduled. Vibrate: haptic feedback. Request delete packages: the "Uninstall" action, which always goes through Android's confirmation dialog. Expand status bar: the swipe-down gesture. Billing: in-app purchases. Advertising ID: ads and their measurement.

Your choices

You can change ad consent in Settings → Privacy options, turn off notifications, remove the weather city, and delete all app data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling it.

Children

The app is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13.

Samsung Galaxy Store and Huawei AppGallery

This section applies to com.themelauncherplus.app.samsung on Samsung Galaxy Store and com.themelauncherplus.app.huawei on Huawei AppGallery. For these Android editions, it takes precedence over store-specific statements elsewhere on this page.

Purchases. Galaxy Store builds use Samsung In-App Purchase (Samsung Electronics); AppGallery builds use HUAWEI IAP (Huawei/Aspiegel, depending on your region). Google Play Billing is not used. The app receives product IDs, purchase tokens or identifiers, receipts/signatures and purchase status to verify ownership, unlock Premium and restore purchases. The store handles payment details; we do not receive your card details. See the Samsung Privacy Policy and Huawei Privacy Statement and the notices shown by your store. Manage purchases and any subscriptions in the store where you bought them; uninstalling does not cancel subscriptions.

Ads. Galaxy Store builds use Google AdMob and Google UMP consent. The Samsung build also includes Liftoff Monetize (Vungle) mediation. AppGallery builds use AdMob with UMP when Google Play services are present, and Huawei Petal Ads with Huawei consent otherwise. Providers may process the Android advertising ID (AdMob), OAID (Petal), IP address, device information, ad interactions and diagnostics for ad delivery, measurement and fraud prevention. Use the app privacy/consent options where available, Android Settings → Privacy → Ads to reset/delete the advertising ID, or Huawei Settings → Privacy → Ads and privacy to reset OAID or limit personalized ads (names vary by device). See Google’s Privacy Policy, Huawei’s Privacy Statement and Liftoff’s Privacy Policy. Liftoff is not included in the AppGallery build. Meta Audience Network is not included in these OEM builds.

Analytics and push. On Galaxy Store and AppGallery builds, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, Performance Monitoring, Cloud Messaging and App Check are not used. The Firebase analytics, crash-reporting and push descriptions elsewhere on this page do not apply to these editions.

Permissions and online services. Installed-app lists, layout and search text stay on the device. Internet access supports purchases, ads, theme downloads and optional weather. Existing theme-download and MET Norway weather services remain in use; servers receive IP address and, for weather, selected city coordinates. Huawei offline city search uses bundled GeoNames data without sending searches to GeoNames. TikTok App Events, FCM theme notifications and promotion-token uploads are not used. Contacts, call logs, camera and microphone are not read.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published at this address with an updated date.
